Bookmarks in FireFox Sync

Currently, I have two computers syncing in firefox. I am only syncing bookmarks. The screen I will be referring to is when I hit ctrl + B to show all my bookmarks.
With Firefox sync, it separates the bookmarks for computer 1 and computer 2 with a line. It shows computer 1's bookmarks on top and then computer 2's bookmarks on bottom. Anytime I bookmark something in computer 1, it shows under where all of computer 2's bookmarks are, when it should bookmark to where all of computer 1's bookmarks are.
This isn't a huge deal. I can just move it, but if I forget to move it, then I'll have trouble finding it, because I expect it to be under where all of computer 1's bookmarks are since that is where I bookmarked it from.

Another similar question regarding this. I can make a new post if needed.
Is there anyway to default the new bookmarks to the top? Currently, I have lots of folders. Any new bookmarks I keep open if I'm currently using them. And then when I don't need quick access to them anymore, I place them in one of the folders.
So the active ones need to be top, otherwise, I continually have to scroll past all the folders to get to the active bookmarks. Thanks.

  • Bookmarks of Firefox Sync lost & Request to restore Firefox Sync data

    I'm using "Firefox Sync" to sync the bookmarks between a desktop and a tablet.
    On the desktop, the bookmarks include 2 parts:
    # all bookmarks by "Firefox Sync" is updated to "Mobile device" folder;
    # another part is bookmarks that only add/change by desktop and is unchanged by "Firefox Sync".
    Last night, "Mobile device" folder on the desktop lost, but other bookmarks exist. since I haven't used the tablet and synced with the tablet for a month, all new bookmarks in "Mobile device" folder lost and cannot find out from the tablet. The bookmarks includes my important research; thus, I really want to get it back.
    I've tried the following methods, but it still doesn't see "Mobile device" folder:
    * sync bookmark with the server (I'm afraid that the blank already replaced the data on the sync server)
    * restore the autosaved bookmarks file *.json
    * move places.sqlite to another computer
    Does Firefox backup their Firefox Sync Server everyday? Would I request Firefox Support to restore my Firefox Sync data on the server back to 3 days ago? Thanks!

    Thank you for your reply. It's so sad to hear that it cannot restore data back to 3 days ago. I've checked the tablet and the desktop, it cannot find out the data. I only blamed myself that I didn't backup the bookmarks...and I need to do it from scratch.
    But I haven't understood why the bookmarks disappeared in the desktop without any error. I've just updated Firefox from 8.0.1 to 15.0.1, I hope it'll not happen again.

  • Synced bookmarks with firefox sync missing

    hi,
    about a month ago i synced my bookmarks via firefox sync from my old macbook to my new macbook and it worked. hurray.
    i sold my old macbook and now my bookmarks seem to be missing. because the sync seem to have worked, i didnt bother saving the bookmark list file. now i dont know how to retrieve my bookmarks, any ideas?

    hello Cornan, there is no such concept as "private bookamarks" in firefox - you can only exempt bookmarks as a whole from being synced (under ''firefox > options > sync'') if you want to keep different sets of bookmarks on different pcs.
    please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

  • I had saved all my bookmarks using firefox sync. Now i changed the OS and trying to get the bookmarks . how can i do this

    i had change my operating system. so the bookmarks which i had in firefox i saved using firefox sync by creaating the account. Now i have changed my operating system but no idea how to get back those bookmarks on the same laptop. cani do that? is there any solution for this

    Add another computer
    Do these steps on the computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.
    At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
    Click I Have an Account.
    Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
    Sign in to your Sync account:
    Enter your account email address
    Enter your password
    Enter your Recovery Key
    Then click Next
    You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.

  • I need to sync bookmarks between Firefox Sync and Seamonkey. Is this possible and if so how to do it??

    I use Firefox and Seamonkey, both on the same computer and also on other computers. I would like to use Firefox Sync to sync bookmarks between Firefox and Seamonkey on all my computers, but I don't understand how to do this, since the browsers seem to use their own separate servers.
    Is this possible and if so can you tell me how to set it up.
    Thanks.

    I understand the confusion!
    I am not a Mozilla support person, but from my experience, Sync should be called Mozilla Sync, not Firefox or Seamonkey Sync.....
    If you create an account in Firefox, that account is accessible to Seamonkey.
    As per the Mozilla instructions, in Firefox you open "Options, sync, add device" and in Seamonkey "setup sync, I already have an account". The text here is a bit confusing because it should read "I already have a Mozilla Sync Account", otherwise you tend to think it implies a Seamonkey Sync account...
    Then click "connect" and Seamonkey then supplies three fields of characters which you enter in the appropriate fields in the Firefox "add device" dialog.
    I think it is confusing that in Firefox the server is called "Firefox Sync Server" and likewise Seamonkey offers a "Seamonkey Sync Server" suggesting they are two completely separate, non-connected entities.
    Hope this helps!

  • Private bookmarks with Firefox Sync (NOT about private browsing)

    Naturally enough, I have bookmarks on my home system that I don't want to sync to my work computer.
    I can't find anything about Firefox Sync that tells me how to keep SOME bookmarks local to a single machine, i.e. prevent them from being Sync'ed.
    How can I mark some bookmarks as "local" or "private" when using Firefox Sync?
    If this capability was [ridiculously] omitted, how can I submit a change request?

  • After successfully importing my bookmarks through Firefox Sync from my old to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

    I want to upgrade my computer and did a Windows Easy Transfer to my new one. My Firefox bookmarks did not show up on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync-which worked fine. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, can I erase the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new one.

    First, disconnect your old computer from Firefox Sync so you don't accidentally delete the data from sync, but then yes you should be good to go.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted bookmarks in Firefox Sync?

    I have reinstalled the OS on my computer, wiping the installed OSes together with all instances of Firefox connected to the Firefox Sync.
    I installed Firefox on the new OS and set up the Firefox Sync using the Recovery key. However, either because the device name was the same as before (my bad), or it's also possible that I've theoretically possible that I've accidentally selected the option to wipe all data on the server with one in my browser (which is none).
    As a result, Firefox Sync reports that my bookmarks now occupy 6.1 KB - i.e. all my bookmarks were deleted.
    (Since this is a new OS install, I don't have access to any of the automated bookmark backups.)
    Is there a way to go back to an earlier version of server data?

    No, there are no backups available - no earlier version of server data.

  • Xmarks sychronyzes moved or deleted bookmarks, can FireFox Sync do the same?

    I am using Xmarks, any changes with my bookmarks will be synchronyze automatically, such as: moving, deleting, sorting...
    Can FireFox Sync do the same?

  • Where are the bookmarks after Firefox Sync?

    I appear to have successfully synched my android device with my Firefox desktop. The Firefox android settings show "Connected" enabled, and I have a date and time for Last update.
    However, I can't see the bookmarks (or any other other sync data). Would you please let me know where/how I access them on my android device (Samsung Galaxy S2)?
    Thanks,
    Ray

    Thank you ... that is very helpful indeed!
    I have nested bookmark folders. Presumably Mozilla knows that when pressing the 'go to previous screen' back button from a nested folder on an android device, you are returned to the original web page itself rather than the previous nested folder?
    Thank you.

  • Firefox sync doesn't work third day on none of my computers

    I have synchronised bookmarks with Firefox Sync on three computers. Since saturday I get on all of them such message : Sync encountered an arror while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.
    Of course - no synchronising happens.
    I use Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 (updated on Monday from 7.0.0).

    There have been problems reported with Sync.

  • How can I copy my bookmarks without using Firefox Sync?

    I am just not comfortable putting my personal data onto an online server, which is what I'm doing with Firefox Sync. Is there a way to copy my bookmarks onto a flash drive, like we used to be able to do?

    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Export HTML... - to a USB stick <br />

  • How do I merge Firefox on my mac and Firefox on my PC to just have one set of passwords, bookmarks etc. shared via Firefox Sync?

    I have two versions of Firefox 4, one on my Macbook pro running OS X and one on bootcamp running Windows 7 professional. They both have different bookmarks, add ons and saved passwords. Is there any way, using firefox sync, that I can collaborate all of the information saved in both of my firefox programs into one profile, and then have them sync to eachother so that when I save a password on my mac, I can access it on windows, etc? I would like a solution which involves losing none of my data moving forward- I want to keep all of my add ons, passwords, and bookmarks from both programs.

    '''This is the same code!''' The only difference is that I have a source pointing to an .mp4 movie '''first''' in my page. Firefox does not play the movie and does not find the Ogg movie after the .mp4 movie. Furthermore Firefox (with the Adobe Flash plugin)does not find the Flash movie after the Ogg. Microsoft's IE finds Flash, to the extent it does not understand the <video> tag. Google's Chrome finds the Ogg. Safari and IE 9 find the .mp4.
    I '''must''' have the .mp4 movie first for the mobile browsers (possibly excepting Firefox Mobile, which does not run on iOS).

    Or http://www.readingsbykaren.com/ after 10:35 AM Eastern Standard Time.
    This is on the home page of the website and I would really like for this to work for Firefox users. In that ''it works for all other browsers tested,'' I am wondering if there is something specific that Firefox needs that makes it incompatible with everything else.

  • Reinstalled Firefox on PC, how do I import bookmarks from my sync account?

    Firefox reinstalled on PC. Had inteded to re-load bookmarks from my firefox sync account. However, firefox only allows me to either "sync another device" or "create a new account."
    I need to sync my browser, the browser on my PC.
    I have my UN and PW to access Fireforx sync here
    https://account.services.mozilla.com/
    This is not a problem. What I need is to download and install my bookmarks and history onto my browser.
    Please help, I have been going around in circles for an hour and have work to do.
    Thanks in advance

    To be clear,
    I do not need to sync my mbile device. That is synced and working. I need to sync the browser on my computer to my sync account. Why is there no simple way of doing this? Can I do this?
